Today I have good news and some not-so-good news that will make you re-evaluate every money decision you make.

The good news is there are currently 3 known African-American women billionaires in the world. Of course, Oprah Winfrey is one. The other two are Angolan investor Isabel Santos and Nigerian oil magnate and fashion mogul Folorunsho Alakija. That’s according to Forbes Billionaires list. Pretty cool huh?

The not so good news is this: the median net worth for many Black women in America, according to a recent report from the Survey of Consumer Finances, is a dismal $100. A $100 net worth??? WTH!

Dr. Maya Rockeymoore, President of the Center for Global Policy Solutions conducted this study on the issue of Black women and wealth. She summarized her findings by saying “black women are flat broke.” Here’s a snippet of her interview on NewsOne NOW.

Ouch. That really hurts.

As a result of a low net-worth, Black women do not have a legacy to pass on to their children. As you may know, wealth in America is mainly acquired through inheritance but we typically have little or nothing to pass down.

The article goes on to reveal that many black women are vulnerable because they only have one source of income. If downsizing or illness occurs then what?

<<Shaking my head>>
